Arda 4e - Scales of War

House Rules

4e D&D requires very little in the way of house rules. That said, we have encountered a few places where we need to document our changes to the rules in case of further need. Any lines of Powers noted that are not included below remain unchanged.

Trained Skills

When choosing Trained skills for a character’s class, the character may select as normal from the list provided by the Class or provided by a Background ability. In addition, the character may select any skill for which the character’s race receives a bonus.

For example, a tiefling wizard may choose from the normal Wizard skills: Arcana (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Dungeoneering (Wis), History (Int), Insight (Wis), Nature (Wis), Religion (Int). In addition, the tiefling may choose as a Background ability one skill from the selected background. Finally, this house rule allows the tiefling to choose Bluff (Cha) or Stealth (Dex), both of which are skills to which tieflings receive a +2 bonus.
